Tangent Synapse

Pretty decent and this is your first map then?

This is pretty cool, I enjoyed the design of the map and the music as well. Cyberdemon fight was fun too.

I don't see why you don't think this map is well-designed (as you stated at the end of the map). I think it's strangely beautiful with the high-quality graphics, original slime texture, and complex structure design. I liked the green sky, too. It was kind of creepy, and it made the map seem like some other-worldy place. I got stuck, though, in the switch and mirrors room. I couldn't get the final switch to move. Maybe it was just me. But, otherwise, this was a very good map. 4/5

The atmosphere is very good but the gameplay is boring, just like most newschool maps. 3/5

This is the best map i've played in awhile. The gameplay is excellent, author makes great use of the ZDoom engine. The detail is nice. Highly recommended ***** -spertz

Fucking... WOW!!! This is incredible! Xan has obviously spent years honing his skills, and made his first release something to be very proud of. Just look at it, it's beautiful! Pure mastery of the ZDoom engine. Gameplay is a fun tough slog, then makes a huge difficulty leap with multiple Archviles, hordes of hard dudes and both bosses. That kinda ruined it for me tbh, but I still had to iddqd my way through just to see what structures you'd used next. Even so, most mappers will never be this good. 5/5

This would be a dam fine map by any standards. The fact that it is a first map makes it even more amazing. Sure, it has a few minor problems (eg the mirror bugs) but it is a very good looking, tough challenge, fun map that feels very complete.

Really nice for a first level! Unlike the review above, I did not find the gameplay to be unfair at all near the end, just a good challenge. It looks and plays quite well in my book, as a matter of fact. Really my only complaints are that I saw the mirrors producing some funny and likely unintended effects when looking at them from a long distance in the mirror area, and cement9 (as mentioned in the text) is used a bit often. Still easy 5/5, especially for a first map.

I think the map is goood, but not as exciting as the first guy makes it out - I think he is a bit delusional. The invisible archie trap sure blew me a new corpse when I sprung it. A solid first map.

Nice map.Good gameplay.However,I too got stuck in that area,so that loses 1 star.Also,anyone found all secret buttons?I found 3 out of 4,and I would really want to know what they do.Also,4/5

Awesome! 5/5!

A very nice map, particularly as it is the authors first. Some good battles on UV -fast, bordering on too tough at times but playable. I don't think it quite makes 5 stars all the same. One bug: I got stuck in the Spider Mastermind room while hunting for secrets (switch required in that room). 4/5

Very good map. Beautiful and fun. 5 stars

Simply stunning map, the maze trap was excellent and the floor rotation effect was used greatly. I look forward to see more from you, Xan. 5/5 - Moti
